While the smell of hotdogs and popcorn, the hours sitting in the stands and other thoughts swirl in your mind, the time is almost here. Have you ever thought of the ball park as a mission field? Think about it this way. God has uniquely gifted your child to play sports. Why not dedicate this season to God?
Ideas:
-
Pray for your coaches!
-
Encourage players when they make mistakes.
-
Have a team party to build relationships with the parents.
-
Invite team members and their families to church.
-
Put a “Let your light shine” sticker on your child’s helmet or other sports equipment. When people ask, they can share about Jesus.
Let God be a part of your daily life. Teach your children to share the love of God “as they go.”
